Question:medium

The energy levels of a quantum harmonic oscillator are:

Show Hint

For standard quantum systems, keep their level spacings in mind: - Quantum Harmonic Oscillator: Energy levels are equally spaced (\(\Delta E = \hbar\omega\)). - Infinite Square Well (Particle in a box): Spacing increases with higher values of \(n\) (\(E_n \propto n^2\)). - Hydrogen Atom (Coulomb Potential): Spacing decreases as \(n\) goes up (\(E_n \propto -\frac{1}{n^2}\)).
